Then, when Chris Soules landed the job instead, he tweeted again. This next tweet oozed of jealousy: Have fun on the farm people. For instance, one day Dean's America's golden boy and the next he's the biggest "F—boy" this side of Paradise. Now, Arie, of all people, is the next Bachelor.

It may seem like he's wanted this role forever, but no more than a year before he desperately lobbied for it on Twitter and Sean's bloghe told reporters that he wanted to focus on his career. Arie called racing his "first love" and said that he wanted to move on from the Bachelor franchise. He even went as far as to say that the show "cursed" his love life, making it impossible for him to find a serious relationship.

I went back to my room and opened a bottle of wine to unwind when I heard the knock. I was shocked to see Jacqueline when I opened the door. My breakup with Jacqueline was one of the most emotional moments in my time on The Bachelor.

I was developing such strong feelings for her and thought that we really had a chance of making things work. I told them if they were ever having doubts in our relationship to let me know.

I also now had new fears about the status of my other relationships. Would any of them also choose to leave? I resolved to not let the Jacqueline breakup affect my date with Lauren the next day.

But it still felt like people cared — I heard a lot of chatter about the season online.
